At a presentation for Santa Company: The Secret of Christmas that was held on June 10, 2019, at the Finnish embassy in Tokyo, director Kenji Itoso was asked to comment on his time as a student at Studio Ghibli under Hayao Miyazaki, and in the process he shared a tale of the world-famous director revealing a blood-curdling truth about the titular character of the classic 1988 animated children’s film, My Neighbor Totoro.
According to Itoso, during a group interview with director Hayao Miyazaki and producer Toshio Suzuki, Miyazaki asked a lady applicant what sort of fllms she’d seen recently.
Hayao Miyazaki, making the world a clearer place for artists with god-level trolling.
